Description

Busybox Installer is the most easy to use busybox installer on the market. It has more versions available than any other installer. It also updates available versions automatically. Busybox Installer includes a "scripter" to manage and run your scripts. Root is required for this app.

Busybox is needed by several root apps and is a powerful utility. Learn more about busybox at http://busybox.net/

BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete environment for any small or embedded system.

BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in mind. It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude commands (or features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize your embedded systems. To create a working system, just add some device nodes in /dev, a few configuration files in /etc, and a Linux kernel.

BusyBox is maintained by Denys Vlasenko, and licensed under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE version 2.

Great tool 1st off anyone who complains should just go buy a basic phone cause you must have no idea what a great tool this is.especially you Tyler ! Without this app a lot would not be possible thanks for putting the time in to make this fantastic app and what's even better its free thank u

Ehmm. What? So, Launching this app on my HTC Desire I couldn't click anything. Nothing responded at all. Finally I found out that if I pressed search, and then came back from the search box, I could scroll down and hit install!

Busybox mistreats utf-8 ash does not accept cyrillic letters from keyboard (the TerminalEmulator's Android sh does), yet it can show them in grep, tail and some other utils. The Extended Latin in utf-8 can be input (even the esperantic "eĥoŝanĝo ĉiuĵaŭde"). less mistreats some eols in utf-8; vi is unable to visualize a cyrillic utf-8 text. The visual $ and ^ do not work (seems to be a feature of busybox vi), moreover they freeze the terminal. Otherwise the package seems to be acceptable.

Frustated Excuse me if i am too harsh...but i am not able to install any version on my htc 816g phone. It would be better if your app itself recognise the phone and presents the suitable version for the phones.

Busybox Pro does not work with HTC EVO 4g. It always was in system/xbin, smart install ok. since rooted with HTC Dev. Went and got the pro version of installer, could not install busybox. I have version 1.20.2.. After purchase it said installation failed. Said it has detected that this version cannot function with this version of BB. Try installing a different rom or fixing your system. Error was Reloc_library (1312) 2739 cannot locate android reboot. Cannot link executable. Lucky like all should know, backup, backup, backup. Need to fix it. And I am still waiting for an answer.

lollipop strikes another app down I cannot give 1 star rating for lollipop changing things. However it would be great to get an update for lollipop and x86 Intel chips. Would be great but I'll try other things to get boot animations.

The Jrummy Standard of Awesome Ive been using Jrummy's stuff since back in Droid 1 & Droid 2 days, used his liberty ROM on my Droid X and LG revolution. Then he started focusing solely on apps and they have been the best. No other app does what his can do and this one is no except. Another great one ! NOW if we could only get a new Liberty ROM for the Nexus 5. Or even the 4. That would be epic. I would find it !

Could not get it to work on my G2 running Android 2.3.4 Tried all versions available at the time of this review, starting with the lowest one of 1.14.3. Each one resulted in the message, "Installing BusyBox <version> failed." I was attempting to root my phone to be able to get a complete backup prior to resetting to factory defaults, because several of the apps I use regularly do not have setting export functions and the developers of those apps (NOT JRummy Apps Inc.) were not interested in adding export capability. Alas I ended up having to reset to factory defaults, with no backups. JRummy Apps Inc. tech support tried to help but ultimately it appears to be a device that they could not make compatible with this app. Because it never worked for me, I'm rating as one star.

Nexus 7 v2 • Does not install, and tells you nothing useful about why it failed. • Tried setting alternate install destination, but installer changes it back to original destination with no message telling you why. • Tried "advanced" installation mode, but installer failed to load the advanced installer. No explanation why it failed. Conclusion: This installer is the very anti-thesis to what BusyBox is supposed to be. Avoid!

Works as expected, but if you ... Works as expected, but if you experience problem of no symlinks to applets in /system/xbin, try to run the app in advanced mode instead. In my case it helped and I have all symlinks installed. UPDATE: I just upgraded to Jelly Bean and it seems to halt/reboot the whole system during symlinks creation process :( Very strange, though busybox and most symlinks were created succesfully.

Caution: Not suited for ZTE Blade (or ARMv6?) The busybox binary this tries to install isn't suitable for at least CM7 on a ZTE Blade - it (and the chmod binary that is apparently used to install it) fails to launch with a linker error. Possibly it's also just not ARMv6 compliant. Symptom: The app just hangs at the "installing..." popup and leaves you with a broken busybox installation :( .

Trash. This app has caused me more agony than I care to share. Warning Will Robenson - Dangerous! Crashed during first install, created a boot-loop after crashed during second install, wouldn't launch so couldn't uninstall (on menu inside installer) after some corruption happened, somehow trashed the busybox binary and replaced it with a 0 byte file...Don't use it. I use Robert Ned...y's market Busybox (installer). One click, stable install, works great. And this dev is THE BEST I have run across.

GREAT UPDATE ! ! ! INIT.D INTEGRATION IS FLAWLESS ! ! ! Great BusyBox! All the symlinks are working great. Sets up with init.d flawlessly. This is a MUST HAVE APP for anyone with a rooted device. My ROOT operations seem to be FASTER, and my device in general just feels FASTER. Developer is very quick to respond to any and all questions. Customer Support for ALL of jrummy's apps are unbeatable. IF YOU LIKED THIS FREE VERSION, BUY THE DONATE VERSION TO SUPPORY THE DEV ! ! ! ----------h311sdr0id----------

I've never seen ads. Don't know what the rest of you are talking about. Of course, that may be because I have jrummy's ROM Toolbox which comes with an ad blocker! Shell out the two bucks or whatever for a priceless array of tools.

Did what it said it would do Definitely the easiest way to install BusyBox (that I've come across so far) I just downloaded, hit install and done. I know it worked because I was able to change softkeys without a hitch since the SoftKeyz app requires BB. So all in all this app was definitely worth more than my time since it saved a lot of Googling and frustration.

Flawless Every single app this device creates is useful and generally bug free. This makes life easy for those of us who refuse to purchase devices that major mobile carriers still control. JRummy is a 5 star general leading the charge in the revolt. Keep it up JR, and I will keep supporting your efforts.
